FURIOUS CHRISTIE REFUSES TO PICK UP TRUMP’S DRY CLEANING
NEW YORK — Governor Chris Christie, of New Jersey, angrily refused to pick up Donald Trump’s dry cleaning during a tense encounter between the two men on Friday, campaign sources confirm.
The ugly scene unfolded at the billionaire’s offices in midtown Manhattan, shortly after Trump revealed that his Vice-Presidential pick would be Governor Mike Pence of Indiana.
According to Trump aides, Christie stomped into the presumptive Republican nominee’s office and hurled a dry-cleaning ticket onto his desk, telling Trump, “You can pick up your own damn dry cleaning.”
The New Jersey governor then stormed out, and has not been seen by Trump or his staffers since.
Trump’s press secretary, Hope Hicks, warned the media against making too much of the apparent rift between the billionaire and Christie.
“In the long hours of a campaign, emotions can sometimes get a little raw,” she said. “We are confident that Governor Christie will pick up Mr. Trump’s dry cleaning going forward.”
Reached later by reporters, Governor Christie issued a brief statement: “Get away from me. Just get away from me, you bas s.”

Team Trump struggling with the easy stuff
once a running mate is chosen, everything is supposed to get much easier. Schedule an announcement, register a website, design a logo, and prepare for the convention. Piece of cake. Candidates for national office deal with a variety of demanding tests; this isn’t one of them.
So how in the world is Donald Trump managing to screw this up so badly?
On MSNBC today, Kelly O’Donnell reported on details that further undermine confidence in the presumptive Republican nominee:
“Even last night, when Donald Trump was in California, he was making some phone calls to try to assess if he was locked in to the [Mike] Pence choice or if he could make a change…. Sources said he was reaching out, looking for a way to make a change.”
Now, it’s worth noting that campaign officials have pushed back against these reports. Then again, it’s clear that sources close to the candidate are telling several major news organizations about Trump’s uncertainty – and desire as recently as last night to undo what was done.
Is there anything about this process that’s reassuring? Trump made a decision, then wondered if he could get out of it.
Trump scheduled an announcement, then delayed it, then made the announcement anyway. The logo is the subject of ridicule.
The campaign neglected to register the necessary url domain names.
Even the convention’s finances and speakers’ list is a mess.
Has any of this gone right? This is the kind of administration voters can expect for four years?
Of course, it’s not just today.
Trump’s staff is a mess.
His field operation is an embarrassment.
His campaign finances aren’t much better.
It’s usually at about this point when conservative readers ask, “Oh, yeah? Well if Trump’s entire campaign operation is such a joke, why is he only trailing Hillary Clinton by a few points? Shouldn’t this be a blowout if he and his team are so incompetent?”
These are perfectly legitimate questions, and
the truth is, the vast majority of Americans don’t know or care that Trump is a bad candidate who’s completely incapable of overseeing a functioning political operation.
Much of the mainstream has some sense of Trump’s message and they’re either prepared to support it or not.
The fact that Trump can’t even introduce his running mate without slipping on a banana peel may be a very bad sign, but for much of the country, it’s also political minutiae.

Social Security Advocacy Group Slams Mike Pence As He Prepares To Be Trump’s VP Pick
The Democratic Party, on the other hand, just finished drafting a 2016 platform that vowed to expand Social Security.
One Social Security advocacy group, Social Security Works, is especially upset with Trump’s likely choice, issuing a tough statement on Wednesday about the Indiana governor.Statement:
“Governor Pence has a long history of fighting to cut and privatize Social Security.
In 2005, he was the leader of a group of House Republicans who criticized George W. Bush’s Social Security privatization plan for not being extreme enough!
He supports raising the retirement age and
other cuts to Social Security benefits.
This despite the fact that the nation is facing a looming retirement income crisis, which is likely to be harshest for younger Americans.
Pence has shown his desire to dismantle Social Security brick by brick, or even faster.
He insultingly calls our Social Security system an “en lement” rather than the earned benefit that it is.
This at ude towards Social Security, the people’s pension, fits in perfectly with Donald Trump’s outrageous claim that Social Security is an illegal Ponzi Scheme.
This name calling is an insult to every worker and Social Security beneficiary. It is an insult to all of us.
Poll after poll shows that voters — regardless of age, race, gender, ethnicity, or political party — support expanding, not cutting, Social Security.
The reported Trump-Pence ticket is radically out of step with the American people.”
The orange-skinned man at the top of the ticket repeatedly said during GOP primary debates that he wouldn’t cut Social Security, but he seems to have changed his tune since becoming the presumptive GOP nominee.
In May, a campaign adviser said Trump is now open to taking the ax to both Medicare and Social Security.
Trump is officially onboard with the standard Republican policy toward the social safety net, and his likely VP pick of Mike Pence is even further evidence of that.

Dems will use the Trash/Pence policy "cut SS, cut Medicare, cut Medicaid" to swing even the old white pissed-off white people to Hillary.

Big mistake by Trump.
Yeah, I don't get the pick at all. It's not like he wouldn't get the GOP base, evangelical vote anyways, considering your average republican would commit seppuku before voting blue, especially Clinton.
Reminds me of Romney picking Paul Ryan to try to entice a demographic that was voting for him anyways.
Let me guess.
Trump would have ended the coup by saying "This is really really bad. This has to stop. And we've got a president that's not doing anything. And Hillary Clinton is a crook who did not stop the coup. Vote for me."

BEN CARSON CONFIDENT THAT TRASH WILL CHOOSE HIM AS V.P.
WEST PALM BEACH, Florida — The retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson told reporters on Saturday that he is “extremely confident” that Donald Trump will choose him to be his Vice-Presidential running mate.
“I’m not a betting man, but I would bet a million dollars it’s going to be me,” he told reporters at his residence, in West Palm Beach. “There are times in life when you’re just positive about something, and this is one of those times.”
Carson did not indicate how he had determined that he would be Trump’s pick. “Let’s just call it a strong feeling I have,” he said. “I don’t want to say anything now that might jinx it.”
As he awaits the all-important call from Trump, Carson said that he and the billionaire would be a “dream team” for the Republican Party in 2016.
“Donald is great at going out and getting people excited, and I’m more grounded and in touch with reality,” he said. “Together, we will be unstoppable.”

GOP Establishment Relieved After Conventionally Abhorrent Beliefs Make Way Onto Presidential Ticket
NEW YORK — Following Donald Trash’s official announcement that he had picked conservative Indiana governor Mike Pence as his running mate, prominent members of the GOP establishment reportedly expressed their relief Saturday that conventionally abhorrent beliefs would be represented on the Republican presidential ticket.
“Gov. Pence is truly committed to the GOP’s most cherished, longstanding hatreds, so we couldn’t be happier to see him chosen as our party’s vice presidential candidate,” said Heritage Foundation president Jim DeMint,adding that the selection of someone with so many years of experience engaging in traditional discrimination against gays and women had eased the fears of Republican officials worried by Trump’s more unorthodoxly regressive views.
“Don’t get me wrong; it’s great that Trash is bringing in millions of bigoted new voters with his fresh ideas for narrow-minded and detestable policies.
But at the same time, there are certain awful beliefs that have helped to guide the conservative movement for decades, and the inclusion of Pence on the ticket is proof that those intolerances still have a place in today’s GOP.”
DeMint added that he hoped Trash would also balance out his own crackpot fiscal proposals by choosing a few cabinet members with more conventionally discredited economic theories.

Trash’s Pence introduction takes 2016 in even weirder direction
But it’s fair to say we haven’t seen anything quite like the scene this morning in New York.
By the time Donald Trump ushered Mike Pence on stage Saturday, 29 minutes had gone by – mostly Trump talking about Trump, not his new running mate.
Perhaps this was to be expected. Maybe, given Trump’s odd waffling and indecisiveness – culminating in
widely reported second thoughts about the Indiana governor
– it shouldn’t be too surprising that this morning’s introduction would be so bizarre.
But the Republican presidential ticket had plenty of time to get this right. They didn’t.
About half-way through a
long, rambling, self-indulgent diatribe that largely ignored the man who was supposed to be the subject of the speech,
Trump told his audience:
“Back to Mike Pence.
So one of the primary reasons I chose Mike was I looked at Indiana, and I won Indiana big. Remember, Indiana was going to be the firewall.
That’s where Trump was going to – they agreed I’d win New York, I’d win Pennsylvania, I’d win all these places.
But Indiana was going to be the firewall. So I got to study Indiana, and I got to study New York and a lot of other places, and I saw how NAFTA, signed by Bill Clinton, has drained our manufacturing jobs, just drained us like we’ve never been drained before.
NAFTA, again, signed by Bill Clinton. NAFTA is the worst economic deal in the history of our country. Manufacturing down in some states 55 percent, 60 percent. It’s a horror show, moving to Mexico, moving to other places.”
“Back to Mike Pence” was a fascinating realization that Trump apparently forgot the point of this morning’s event, but note that Trump didn’t actually transition to talking about Pence at all. Rather,
he talked about his own primary campaign, before complaining about NAFTA – a trade deal that Mike Pence enthusiastically supports.
Even when introducing his running mate to a national audience,
Donald J. Trump really only wanted to talk about his favorite subject: Donald J. Trump.

How old is this article? Carson was one of the people helping Trump to choose a VP. He knew that Trump needs an insider with congressional, political experience which rules himself out.Ben C is delusionally lost in his own head, as always

boutons, the author Andy Borowitz:
In the late 1990s, Borowitz began e-mailing humorous fake news stories to friends. In 2001, he founded The Borowitz Report, a site that posts one 250-word news satire every weekday. The site led to greater fame and widespread attention for Borowitz as a political satirist. The Wall Street Journal devoted a page-one story to him and his site in 2003 and readership ultimately grew to the millions.
"Earlier this year, VP hopeful Newt Gingrich spoke at a closed-door meeting of the Republican State Leadership Committee. The former House speaker praised Donald Trump's skills as a politician and negotiator, but offered a candid assessment on the keys to his success."
"Recording: Behind closed doors, VP hopeful Newt Gingrich compared Trump to the Kardashians and said he speaks to voters “at the lowest level of any candidate.” Here's a few more things he said:"

At GOP convention, toy guns are banned, but real guns are not
Cleveland officials said Wednesday that they will uphold the right of protesters at the Republican National Convention to carry firearms even as they expressed opposition to the state’s open carry laws.
Speaking to reporters in advance of the Republican National Convention next week, both Cleveland Mayor Frank G. Jackson and police Chief Calvin Williams they were bound by the state’s laws allowing people to carry guns even if they disagreed with them.
The same report added, however, that city officials have already banned “a wide array of items inside a broad zone in downtown Cleveland around the convention site, including water guns, toy guns, knives, aerosol cans, rope, tennis balls and others.”
